FruitLoops Bar

In service of you, my dear readers, I've reviewed the FruitLoops Bar, a typically American product, so you don't have to!

FruitLoops are a type of American cereal, specifically branded to reach 6-year-olds. Apparently, among this age-group, they're a huge favorite. Remember chocolate covered sugar bombs? Well, this should be the equivalent, sans the chocolate.

At one point in time, some marketing genius thought of sticking these together to form a bar. Basically, a good idea, so you don't have to carry around a bowl, spoon, milk and separate cereals with you, when you're on the move.

A box of these contains 6 pieces.


Each one individually wrapped.



Now, judging by the picture on the box, you'd expect one crunchy, supersweet son-of-a-bar. Alas. It's just a little sweet. No crunch, more like chewy. It's got lots of colors though. I think kids will like them anyway.

All in all, it's a little waste of money (even though it cost just 1,95, making it about 30 ct each). My advice: don't buy it.

Wasabi peas

If you're into wasabi, like me, you should really give these little green guys pictured above a try. I first learned about them on the Delicious Days blog. How great my joy was when I learned I could purchase them over here, too.
They're everything you're expecting wasabi covered snacks to be. Don't be tempted to gobble up more then one or two at a time, or eating a handful in rapid succession - unless you'd want your nasal passages to clear up, just like when using the regular green paste.

These peas are perfect proof that you don't need sushi to enjoy your favorite self-torturing pleasure. They come in a tall resealable 280 g can and cost me € 2,75 (found here). Peas out!
